…According to the teachings of Bahá’u’lláh the family, being a human ,
unit must be educated according to the rules of sanctity. All the virtues must
be taught the family. The integrity of the family bond must be constantly
considered, and the rights of the individual members must not be transgressed.
The rights of the son, the father, the mother—none of them must be
transgressed, none of them must be arbitrary. Just as the son has certain
obligations to his father, the father, likewise, has certain obligations to his
son. The mother, the sister and other members of the household have certain
prerogatives. All these rights and prerogatives must be conserved, yet the
unity of the family must be sustained. The injury of one shall be considered
the injury of all; the comfort of each, the comfort of all; the honor of one,
the honor of all.
